That field is HIS turf and he had just finished defending it in the best possible way in front of an adoring, ecstatic home crowd and the fact that within seconds after the gun goes off 1,000 suits and skirts are getting in his face does not change that fact.

In shooting his mouth off he went a bit overboard.

Big deal.

That also indicates the intelligence levels and character of these idiots and trolls out there haha. Sure, this guy has found success, is smart, so are a lot of people, so are a lot of other black people- they just dont run their mouths like a street rat. We will be pumped with feel good mirage stories. Get a grip. Hats off to his success and acheivements, he is fun to watch, but the man is a chump filled with arrogance. I dont care about his outside life one bit. Caring about Dennis Rodmans life though is a whoooole different story!

Tue, 28 Jan 2014 16:01:59 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2240462#comment-3121674I’m really glad his mom and dad are getting some attention. What this story should show is that even if you grow up in a troubled area, if you have the consistency of a strong family unit with hardworking people raising you, you are much better off. Yes Richard Sherman’s ticket out was his athletic talent to a degree, but I think his non-athlete brother is doing ok for himself as well.

One of the biggest reasons this country is in the state it’s in is too many baby mommas and daddies and too few responsible parents. This trend is NOT a race thing in any way, it is a generational thing that spans all races.

He is a great player. Refreshing to have him in the league.

San Fran fans, shouldn’t you be planning your vacation? Or maybe healing up from your beat down?

Greenbay , tell your corners to catch and you would have at least only lost in the NFC Championship.

What does work ethic have anything to do with people doing what they’re supposed to do? People are supposed to work, good for his parents for doing what most of us do every day.

But I am confused. Yesterday we’re supposed to feel bad for Damarius Thomas because his family sold crack and are in Prison, and now were supposed to feel bad for Sherman because his parents work for a living. WTF is going on?

Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:28:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2240462#comment-3121437@ Kevin Sherman “People say, ‘Let your son take care of you,’” Kevin Sherman said. “Yeah, but I’ve got a few years left until I retire. Why would I mess up my own retirement? Why should my son have to foot everything? I have a medical plan that will cover me. Why should my son have to pay my medical bills? It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Now that is a smart parent. Richard Sherman is only making a little more than the league minimum for a 3rd year 5th round draft pick. He hasn’t yet made “the big money.” In a few years his parents can retire and have health care from their jobs take care of them, buy them a nice condo (60 year old parents don’t need a 10 bdrm mansion with all of their kids grown). Next year or the year after Richard Sherman will get a contract extension making him among the highest paid at his position and I’m guessing that he’ll be good with his money.

@infectorman, To anyone who paid attention it was Crabtree who was the poor sport, and the cameras just caught a reaction which doesn’t truly show what the man is about. This is like watching 60 seconds of a movie and saying that you know everything about the movie.

Like someone else said…WE GET IT. The Seattle media wants people to think he’s not the self-centered a$$hat his own actions make him out to be.

Got his work ethic from his parents eh? Too bad they didn’t teach him about being a good winner and a good loser.

Instead of these large 3-5 year contracts they should force some sort of pension on these guys. Since they all come back with attorneys looking for more once they’re done anyway. Then if they come back after the NFL for future damages they lose that pension.

He had his chance to show the world who he was and he did, now why in the hell is the media trying to glorify this man. First impressions are everything and Richard decided to be a self centred POS, which is truly who he is. I have no respect for Sherman after the end of last game (and I hate the 49ers). Anything but a broncos win would be sheer disaster. Can’t imagine harvin and Sherman with rings. Lots of talents and no idea on how to act in public. Me, me, me attitudes.
